I'm a gay man who own a 1995 MasterCraft ProStar 190 Sammy Duvall Series. I live at Norris Lake in Snellville, Georgia. I have met some gay and lesbian people who owns a MasterCraft. Just wondering if there's more gay men & lesbian women out there ? :cool:

I think from the reaction of some it is pretty clear why someone might ask the question "are there gay mastercraft owners out there?"

Some of us would no doubt welcome anyone to boat with us, some would like to go boating with other familes that have kids (so they can hang out with our kids), some people are single and looking for other people to come along as a 2nd or 3rd, some people are perhaps looking for other boating familes that share simmilar religious faith, etc ... others, it is evident, only want to boat with straight people ...

If you only want to boat with straight people, or yellow people, or purple people ... then you probably want to know before you go boating whether or not they are straight, yellow, or purple ... JUST as someone might want to know if the people they are boating with are gay ... and if you are looking for more purple people to go boating with you might ask the question "are there any purple mastercraft owners out there?"

Now, if the thread originator had asked:

Hey, are there any Harley riding Mastercraft owners out there?

Hey, are there any Chevy/GM drivers who own Mastercrafts out there?

Hey, are there any schoolteacher Mastercraft owners out there?

Hey, are there any military Mastercraft owners out there?

Hey, are there any Supermodel Mastercraft owners out there?

Hey, are there any Pro-Choice Mastercraft owners out there?

Hey, are then any Democrat/Republican Mastercraft owners out there?

(you see where I am going)

Likely, anthing but "gay" would have garnered the mixed responses, well, except for Pro-Choice .... but I digress

If it is okay to have a swimsuit thread where WE basically hold our hand up and say by our very response to the thread, "hey, nice picture, I'm straight and I think that girl is pretty hot" ... then it sure better be okay for a guy/gal to create a thread for others to hold their hand up .... and yeah, if it is okay to have a girls swimsuit thread, then it sure as heck is okay if there was a guys swimsuit thread (but I can only imagine the homophobic crap that the moderators would have to continually deal with).

Me, I'm not a real likeable guy, aside from Airjunky and his wife, I have not had anyone from this site up to our cabin, and the only other mastercraft owners I have met in person and talked to are my neighbors to the right and left of our cabin.

There are a few of you that I would love to invite up, crack open a few cold beers, and go out and mess up the glass, and then BS with around the fire ...it is very likely that the people I would invite up would have similar interests, and I would know that they have similar interests because of their posts on TT.

Sorry to threadjack David, good luck in your quest to find other Gay MasterCraft owners ... so far I have only seen responses by straight individuals, with varying amounts of tolerance.

01-06-2007, 09:17 AM

I kept waking up last night thinking about this thread. Since I went to bed some people like X2momma and PendO took care of some of my comments for me, so thanks for that.

So here is my question, why can't we just be nice to people?

Some threads and posts on here are cheap and very disrespectful to women. They really make me feel bad when I read them. Things like the recent "Wife School" and SteveO's "New Man Law" from last fall are hurtful to read.

I'm sure the same experience is true for Gay people who read Team Talk. Threads like the Walmart thread and some of the gay bashing posts have to make gay people feel bad too.

It is never a good practice to make oneself feel bigger or better by hurting others. Bully behavior in the end hurts everyone.

David, I hope you find some gay MasterCraft owners out there.

By the way, Is there any camera fanatic MasterCraft Owners out there? :)

It's about common interests, just exactly what X2momma and suedv mentioned. I do respect everyone's views as long as they respect mine. Please do not assume that everyone on TeamTalk are heterosexual. Gay and lesbian are everywhere ! Not only in Georgia, but everywhere including in Western Colorado !.

David,

Welcome to the board:)

by rule I'm probably pretty homophobic, but I've also learned a long time ago that if someone wants that lifestyle, I'm not the person to criticize it.

as you mention in the post above "I do respect everyone's views as long as they respect mine."

I feel the same way. And that's what I teach my kids.

WOW!

My first reaction to this post was a immature answer (most likely a disrespectful one at that). But since I have had time to think about it, and read some other replies I will be a bit more responsible with my answer.

as far as a positive or negative response, I give you this;
Who cares!

Pendo, you offer a great response as to peoples reactions. Asking others if there are any military, Chevy owners, school teachers, Harley riders.... Well those are all socially accepted topics. If we were in a town meeting and someone inquired about those topics, most likely the conversation would be less controversial. Since we are talking about a rather touchy subject to the general public, you should expect such responses. If anyone gets offended, my reaction is this... "Welcome to the internet"!!

Welcome to the board. I think you'll find some of the greatest people you have ever met in here. As for gay, It never crosses my mind because I don't care what ones sexual preference is. It is simply none of my business.

The title of your thread was bold. It obviously took some people off guard and you received some inappropriate responses. If you are this open about your sexuality you have no doubt been through this before.

This group of boat owners are some of the most knowledgeable around they just get a case of cabin fever after a while.
